A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

"So?"

King Azpar asks as he looks at Neil.

Cliff and William are in "What are you doing" mode.

"We want to make it a side room.

"Um, that's good.

King Azpar easily acknowledges.

"Huh? Father, that's easy to admit.

Are you sure?

Cliff asks.

"Is there a reason I have to say no to something?

King Azpar asks Cliff back in wonder.

"No... that being said, there's nothing pre-judged in the royal engagement..."

"... pre-screening? You don't need that, do you?

I disagree with you if you're a woman who goes to boulders or something, but... are you a guard?

Isn't he also a daughter of a former 1st Knights soldier and solid?

Besides, you've known Amy and Krina for a long time, haven't you?

Parent-child relationships don't seem to have Isakoza either.

You have such good luck?

"Not when they say that..."

Cliff said, "Is that good?" and twist his head.

"So, what happened to that... woman?

"We're pushing Amy and the others into the next room.

Selina says.

"Olcott, tell him to come over here with Amy.

I'll have to say hello.

"I'm in awe.

Orcott replies and exits.

------------------------

"It's hard.

Alice groans as she looks at the list.

Takeo and the others were fighting a martial officer, a civilian list, as they had tea in their room.

Mia and Ku enjoy a post-meal morning's sleep.

"Hmm... who can manage the budget for 1750 annual pensions..."

Takeo was also looking at the list and comparing his background.

"Hmm... it would be better if I had a job history with the Treasury and General Affairs if I just looked at my background.

You don't know all this.

Alice also looks difficult.

And, the door to the room is knocked, and Meyer, Andersen and Tracey come in when Alice replies, "Please".

"" "Excuse me.

"You three... what's wrong?

Alice asks as she sits down.

"Yes.

Sir Kitamizato.

I, Carlo Meyer, am pleased to accept the request from Sir Kitamizato for a test platoon leader.

"I, Dom Andersen, am pleased to accept the request from Sir Kitamizato for the Deputy Chief of the Exam Platoon.

"Really? Thanks for the quick colorful reply.

So, how did the Dean of the College of Mages get here?

"Yes.

Sir Kitamizato.

Could you hire me, Aura Tracy, as a research fellow at the Institute?

I gave up once, but I was ashamed to hear from you without abandoning my desire to really do magical research.

How dare you?

Tracy bows her head deeply.

"... Miss Alice, what do you think?

"Even if you ask me... but this institute is Takeo's job, right?

You can make whatever you want, I suppose?

"Really... shall we just sit down and talk?

Excuse me, sir, but could you grab the chair in the corner of the room?

"" "Yes.

Each of the three went to pick up an empty chair, and Takeo prepared three teas.

"Well... I understand Mr. Meyer and Mr. Andersen belong and background...

College directors don't know their background, do they? It wasn't on the list, was it?

Ask Tracy as Takeo looks at the list.

"Sir Kitamizato, I'm fine with Tracy.

I am currently Deputy Director with the Directorate-General and I am Dean of the College of Magicians at the External Directorate.

"I see. From the beginning, to the General Inspectorate?

"No, after I graduated from the College of Mages, I was part of the Royal Dedicated Mage Corps.

From there I moved to the General Inspectorate.

Neither Takeo nor Alice speak out, but I am surprised.

"A royal magician is, as its name suggests, a royal magician, right?

Isn't that the highest institution for magicians?

Um... as hard as it may be to say, why are you quitting the Royal Exclusive Mage Corps?

"Yes.

A junior came in a few years after I belonged, but I saw the genius of juniors and figured out the power of spiritual magic... and it was my first setback in my life.

It broke my heart and I hoped for a change.

Both Takeo and Alice said, "That? Is that what you heard somewhere? I thought."

"I listened to Sir Kitamizato's laboratory and found that there was a pure desire within me to do research.

Please tell me about the researcher.

"It's good, I'll hire you.

Takeo agrees with you lightly.

"Huh!?

Tracy raises her surprise the other way around.

"Is that... good?

"Yeah, I'll hire you.

You must also have enough ability to go to the Royal Dedicated Mage Corps, and run the college.

I have also heard about the disadvantages in yesterday's research.

If they still want to do research, there's no reason to say no.

It's just... "

"Just?"

Tracy breathes.

"I would also like to ask Mr. Tracy to run the Institute's immediate overall funding.

"Yes?"

"It's a small area with 20 platoons and three researchers.

I want you to see the overall flow of funds.

Of course, the platoon will also bear in mind the cost of calculating its own exercise costs, as well as the cost of managing weapons, horses, etc.

But there are no people who can see the management, purchase, payment, etc. of supplies involved in research.

Of course, I'll be looking for someone good in the rewards of my aristocrats later, so could you do some temporary, concurrent work until then?

Takeo bows his head to Tracy.

"Oh... do you mind that?

Tracy is surprised that Takeo bowed his head.

"Is it true!? One concern is gone.

"Dear Takeo, good for you.

Takeo and Alice rejoice.

"Sir Kitamizato.

"Sir doesn't have to wear it.

"Lord Kitamizato, by the way, how much is the Institute's operating fund?

Meyer asks.

"1750 gold coins per year.

"" "Huh!?

The three harden.

"We haven't even decided how much to pay soldiers or researchers, etc.

... How much do you want?

Takeo asks the three of them with a sigh.

"" "No, no, no.

The three refuse to speak.

"Lord Kitamizato, what did they say around there?

Andersen asks.

"I was told that I estimated it at about the same domestic average salary for each Knights...

You wanted me to tell you the domestic average first, didn't you?

Takeo asks in trouble.

"... roughly, but I think the Knight Commander was seven pieces of gold and five pieces of silver a month, the Knight Commander was five pieces of gold and five pieces of silver a month, and the Knight was four pieces of gold a month.

Tracy answers as she thinks.

"I see... um..."

Takeo starts calculating everyone's salary easily on paper.

The three watched as their salaries began to calculate in front of them, harassing them.

"Uhm, good good good ♪

Regards, Lynette Astley, Neil.

King Azpar says happily to Lynette.

"Ha! Your Majesty.

"Lynette... it's 'yes' there.

Because you will no longer be a soldier.

Amy puts in the correction with a bitter smile.

"Ah... yes, Your Majesty.

Re-word as Lynette blushes.

The royal family watches over Lynette like that.

"Huh... that's a novelty.

Lorna squeaks.

"So, where do we run the ceremony?

Wang Du? Is that Neil's mansion?

King Azpar asks pleasantly.

"Father... nothing has been decided...

In the meantime, I have to go back to my territory and say hello to Lynette's parents.

"Hmm... let's start there... or will Amy be home once?

"Yes, Grandpa.

I'm going to apologize with your father.

"Um, right.

"We're going to go back to our territory, too.

Selina tells Cliff and Lorna nodding.

"Um, well.

When is everybody going home?

"Right.

I have a temporary leave procedure for the Royal College... but I think I'll be able to leave tomorrow.

Amy answers.

"Then let's do it tomorrow, too.

Lorna answers with a nod as well.

"Quite suddenly.

King Azpar says so boringly.

"Oh, my father-in-law.

"Leila, what's going on?

"Mr. Takeo said he was leaving for the Katlanda Empire tomorrow.

"As always, you're acting fast... we're a little lonely for everyone to be gone in unison.

King Azpar says lonely.

"I'll have to come back to Wangdu soon, though.

Cliff says sighingly.

"Right.

Neil also needs Lynette's parents to come and say hello to your stepfather.

We'll have to be present at the title award when Takeo returns.

Father-in-law, when are you planning on awarding the title?

Lorna asks King Azpearl

"Right.

Would it take 20 days for Takeo to enter the Katlanda Empire if he stayed 6 days on his horse and about 8 days over there...

In a month's time, I will proceed so that the award ceremony can be held in conjunction with the new nobility.

"Really?... Is it Wang Du for New Year's Eve?

Lorna squeaks.

Everyone also confirmed their plans in their minds.
